For three decades, CANFAR has brought together Canada’s fashion, culinary and philanthropic communities to raise funds for HIV research and support programs. Its signature fundraising event continues to champion better access to prevention, testing and care for people affected by HIV.
Bloor Street Entertains celebrates its 30th anniversary on Thursday, November 19, 2026, with more than 20 dining experiences hosted at fashion houses and venues throughout Toronto’s Bloor-Yorkville district, followed by a major after-party at the Royal Ontario Museum.
The evening will feature acclaimed chefs, special dining experiences and a headline performance by dance music star Robin S. Guests will also see the Canadian debut of HIV Unwrapped Canada, an exhibition connecting fashion, storytelling and HIV science.
Over its history, Bloor Street Entertains has raised millions for HIV research and community programs. This milestone event continues that work at a time when expanding equitable access to testing and care remains essential.
